What's the story

RCB skipper Virat Kohli has asked for forgiveness from the fans after another disappointing campaign in the Indian Premier League. RCB have been one of the most inconsistent sides in IPL and this time, as well, they ended sixth in the table. The manner in which they collapsed in the virtual knockout game against Rajasthan Royals highlighted the issues for them.

Statement

RCB skipper sorry for not living up to expectations

Virat stated that the season didn't go as planned and he is deeply sorry for not living up to the expectations of fans. Kohli added that it is up to the players to learn from such campaigns and turn it around next season. He also cited that it is not always possible to get what you want, despite the team looking to do well.

Failures

Batsmen let Kohli down

It was one of those campaigns, once again, where RCB's middle-order failed miserably. Everything was riding on the shoulders of skipper Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. The duo were in the thick of action, but inconsistency from the rest defined their term. A livid Kohli had acknowledged this fact post his side's last match.

Poor start

Early losses hurt them bad

Five losses in the first seven games made the task impossible for RCB. In those games, the death bowling was weak. Further, they were let down by their fielders. With the batting not clicking as well, it was a period of uncertainty. They came together to stitch three crucial successive victories in the end, but the sheepishness against RR undid all the good work.
